    Locche is the man for me, lateral movement or no.

    I agree with that..but I put prime Benitez near the top with him.

    Yes of course, definitely even a candidate for number one i'd say.

    watch some of his less well known Highlights especially the Ortiz one he showed good lateral movement.

    Benitez was brilliant and at 17 years old his display agaisnt Cervantez was comparabel to Locches

    Peps my number 1, then Locche

    Yeah Locche is not a man that emplyed lots of lateral movement though throughout his career, i just think his defence was very consistently brilliant,

    He didnt employ it often but when he did it was amazing, i didnt see enough of the fight to see how consistent it was.

    I've been making the highlight for a while now and it'll probably be finished soon.

    I'm afraid it won't have as much depth as I and others would've wished and it's because making an in-depth highlight lasting "only" 11 minutes (the youtube limit) seems to be impossible for me. What can I say, I just like to add all the footage that I can get...

    Right now I'm thinking of including names like Whitaker, Pep, Locche, Benitez as well as some old timers Walcott & Moore, even Duran for some variety, Mayweather representing today's era. Any others that I've forgotten? I think I'll have enough space left for a couple of names.

    Of course I'll be making one big highlight of the "art of defense" with clips all the fighters that didn't get their own highlights.

    wish there was more early Locche

    Yeah i bleieve you, even if he did do it a bit though, it's what you do consistently throughout your career that you are considered great at imo.

    That would be great.

    Locche may have had good, perhaps even great footwork, but to my knowledge he often had problems with his conditioning. Why bother using your feet when you can get away with standing still? :good
